While intimate weddings are a trend for some people these days, celebrity nuptials are usually monumental and topped with grandeur. It is understandable: they are designed to make a memorable story.

Let us look back on the most magical, grandiose and beautiful wedding receptions, which are real fairy tales that came to life.

1. Grace Kelly & Prince Rainier III of Monaco

The wedding of the Oscar-winning actress and Prince Rainier III of Monaco was named the "wedding of the century". The ceremony was watched by over 30 million viewers on live television. Both the wedding and its anticipation were regal: two weeks before her wedding, Grace Kelly sailed from New York to Monaco with family members and friends.

Their wedding that took place on April 19, 1956 had 700 guests including members of reigning royalty as well as celebrities, such as Aristotle Onassis, Cary Grant and Ava Gardner.

2. Brad Pitt & Jennifer Aniston

Even though the stars have divorced, their nuptials are the one for the books. It is no wonder: the wedding had a $1 million price tag! The former bride and groom hired celebrity performers to entertain the guests, such as Billy Preston and Melissa Etheridge.

The reception took place in a private Malibu estate decorated with over 50 000 roses and tulips. The party ended with a fireworks display. It was attended by Matthew Perry, David Schwimmer, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Edward Norton, Salma Hayek and Cameron Diaz.

3. Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez first got engaged in 2002. They split in 2004 to get back together later. In 2022 they got married at a wedding chapel in Las Vegas and exchanged their vows again at a ceremony held at Affleck’s Hampton Island Preserve estate in Georgia. The reception was lavish. According to the stars, for them it was the best day ever.

4. Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra

Their multi-day, multi-outfit celebration held in India was a wedding to compete with the royal ones. In December 2018 they had both a traditional Hindu ceremony as well as a reception in more western manner.

5. Kit Harington and Rose Leslie

The former co-stars had the most beautiful wedding on June 23, 2018. It took place in a castle in Aberdeen, Scotland and was attended by other Games of Thrones actors together with friends and family members.

6. George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin

It was September 2014 when a longtime bachelor Clooney said "I do" to his girlfriend.

Alamuddin' dress was really trend-setting: she wore Oscar de la Renta made with fourteen yards of ivory french Chantilly lace and layers of tulle, embroidered with pearls and diamanté stones. The wedding itself was romantic and elegant. It was a beautiful Italy celebration with a star-studded guest list which included Bill Murray, Emily Blunt, Cindy Crawford and Matt Damon, just to name a few.

7. Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel

Justin Timberlake’s and Jessica Biel’s wedding reception was really an over-the-top event: it took place on October 19, 2012 in a 63-room, 28-villa luxury Italian hotel. Jessica wowed the guests by her petal-pink Giambattista Valli Haute Couture gown. It is worthy of note that the actress and the singer swapped vows once again in Puglia, Italy in the summer of 2022.

8. Audrey Hepburn and Mel Ferrer

Even though Audrey Hepburn's wedding was a quiet one and was held in a tiny chapel in Switzerland with a celebratory breakfast after, it was very beautiful. The actress wore a wedding gown delicately accented by buttons down the front designed by Pierre Balmain and a crown of flowers instead of veil.
